Jeevan Mein Bhagwad-Geeta

byAnil Kumar Gupta

Forty years of Gita study distilled into practical guidance on leadership, health, family, ego, and the demands of modern life.

Overview

The Bhagavad Gita was not composed for monks. Its conversation unfolds on a battlefield, in a moment of paralysis, and its answers address the full range of human dilemmas — leadership, duty, health, desire, fear, and how to live inside a body that will not last. Jeevan Mein Bhagwad-Geeta takes those answers out of the commentary tradition and brings them to bear on the pressures of contemporary life.

Anil Kumar Gupta spent nearly four decades studying the Gita under his teacher's guidance before writing this book. He ranges across topics that modern life makes unavoidable — management, household responsibilities, education, diet, adolescence, illness, death, environmental responsibility, ego, and speech — and places each within the Gita's framework without forcing the text. The approach is practical rather than devotional, readable rather than scholarly. Padma Shri Professor H. C. Verma of IIT Kanpur noted that the book achieves a rare balance between material progress and spiritual development.

Readers who have always meant to engage seriously with the Gita but found existing commentaries either too abstract or too sectarian will find here a useful, grounded companion.

अनिल कुमार गुप्ता की "जीवन में भगवद्गीता" बताती है कि आज के व्यवहारिक युग में श्रीमद्भागवद्गीता कैसे प्रासंगिक होने के साथ-साथ हमें सही मार्ग दिखा सकती है। इस पुस्तक में लेखक ने गीता के श्लोकों का सन्दर्भ देते हुए न सिर्फ आपाधापी भरे जीवन में उत्पन्न हो रही स्वास्थ्य समस्यायों के निराकरण का मार्ग दिखाया है, वरन आज के जीवन में जिन गुणों की हमें आवश्यकता है, उन्हें हम कैसे निखार सकते हैं, इसके बारे में भी विस्तार से बताया है। सरल भाषा में लिखी ये पुस्तक अपने गुरु के सानिध्य में रह कर लेखक के लगभग 40 वर्षों के अध्ययन, विवेचन एवं चिंतन का सार है। इस पुस्तक में नाना प्रकार के विषय, जो तथाकथित आधुनिक जीवन में सभी को उलझा देते हैं, उनको गीता के परिप्रेक्ष्य में रख कर देखने से मिलने वाले उत्तरों को रखा गया है। लेखक ने नेतृत्व, प्रबंधन, गृहस्थ धर्म, आहार, शिक्षक, विद्यार्थी, कर्तव्यनिष्ठा, किशोरावस्था, रोग, मृत्यु, पर्यावरण, परोपकार, प्रसन्नता, वाणी संयम, पुरुषार्थ, लोभ, अहंकार आदि मनुष्य जीवन से जुड़े लगभग सभी आयामों पर गीता के आलोक में चर्चा की है। "प्रस्तुत पुस्तक में भौतिक विकास और आध्यात्मिक विकास का सुन्दर समन्वय है।" प्रोफेसर एच सी वर्मा, पद्म श्री पूर्व प्रोफेसर, आईआईटी (कानपुर)
